This briefing session was jointly organized by Campus France and the Cooperation and Cultural Action Department of the Embassy. The students got to know each other and learned about France, French politics, French culture and student mobility abroad. They also obtained all kinds of practical information to prepare for their stay in France.

The new scholarship holders also had the opportunity of getting first-hand information from two alumni - Christof van der Merwe, French government scholarship holder 2013-2014, and Lucky Kunene, French government scholarship holder 2014-2015, who told them about their “French experience” and gave them valuable tips. They also had the opportunity to meet Ambassador of France to South Africa, HE Elisabeth Barbier.
